We delve into the data in the first members article of the week as we assess the stand-out statistics over Saturday and Sunday’s eight matches. Everton’s left back, Newcastle and Villa’s top scorers, Chelsea’s weekend goal hero and Cardiff’s attack under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are some of the topics brought under analysis this time around:
Night Cheeseoid.

I can't post for a few days so will leave a couple suggestions to my fellow FF acquaintances fot the G/W ahead.
!/ Torres (C) this week but I guess that's obviously what most good players are doing.
2/ Avoid Norwich players at all cost and invest in Stokies for the cleanie (Begovic /Shawcross) and even consider Arnautovic/ efenseCrouch for diff attacking returns.
3/ Regarding the D/GW I know you all have your own plans so will not comment
4/ Invest in the Utd defense with the stokies and Hair Bear is a good diif also.
Tune for the D/Z peace.

If Olsson is out does that mean Whittaker starts this week? would love it if Whits and Kim got to start just when I need them the most.
Open ControlsThat's me off too, night guys.
Let me know if you find the cunning rest of season master plan that gives you maximum points every week.Open Controls
Have 2 FT this week, what changes would you recommend making ? Can afford to make a few transfers to make up for those not playing. Have 1.0m in bank
Cech, Davis
Vlaar, Koscielny, Dawson, Coleman, Gabbidon
Hazard, Nolan, Puncheon, Mata, Yaya Toure
Suarez, Rodriguez, Sturridge
Thanks in advance 🙂Open ControlsCan't afford that, have to free funds up somewhere else . Any ideas ?
Open Controls
What makes you think he won't?
Open ControlsOh, just saw the yellow flag. Weird, he played 90 mins last game?
Open ControlsSounds like an international friendly injury to me. Either way I won't be selling him since I only have 7 starters for next week anyway!
Open ControlsHa. The problem is preparing well for this week means having fewer DGW players. So either way you will have a disadvantaged week. I'd rather it be this week since none of the big boys are playing.
Open Controls
Anyone else think man u will struggle at WBA? They took points off cheksea at home hmmmm
Open Controls
Of course we will. You'd have to go down a few leagues to find a team we'd beat comfortably at the moment.
Still think we have a chance though and am hoping for something from MataOpen Controls
Hands up who brought in M Ollson yesterday.
Just me then 🙁
Thought I'd waited long enough after the Norwich game and had forgot about internationals. Oh well another blow in what's been a season of themOpen ControlsBest captain choice this week? Probably rvp or hazard?
Open ControlsI'm going Haz but I don't have the option of RVP. If I did I'd probably choose him to be honest
Open Controls
If by some minor miracle Burner, Mutch, MOllson & Mariappa all start, ill have ten players for this week.
Never gunna happen mind you......
How's other people looking for this week? Who do u need to start that's looking unlikely?Open ControlsWhat's up with Lallana? That's all I need right now is for him to be a doubt
Open Controls
Btn gw 30 & 31: hits
How many hits most people thinking they will do tbn gw 30 & 31 for the DGWs as of w 31?
just saw that i might get a -4 on gw 30 and -8 on gw 31...too much?Open ControlsI'm going for a -4 to end up with the following DGW players:
Pool: Studge, Suaz & Sterling
Utd: Mata
City: Kun & Nasri
Wham: Adrian
Hull: Chester
8 DGWers in total. And not too bothered about taking any more hits. Could bring in another DFer for Fonte like JEvans (were he fit by then) but don't think I'll botherOpen Controlslooks good. Chester not sure he will start over bruce and rosenior.
-4 is good.u think my total hits of -4 btn gw 30 n 31 too much??Open Controlssorry meant u think my total hits of -12 btn gw 30 n 31 too much??
Open ControlsYep it's a bit on the heavy side in my opinion. You are asking a lot from the players you're bringing in before u start making any points gains
Open Controlsthe total 12 hit is to be able to bring dgw in Aguero - Yaya - Gerard - Nolan - Collins/Mccatney.
Betting that w/ the DGW the -12 hit will get paid off, no?Open ControlsTo be fair that is quite the list of players you're bringing in there. Good luck!
Just remember the players you're selling will have games too. Will the ones your bringing in outscore them including -12pts?Open Controls
So, I bought Rooney in before it was pointed out I will want Sturridge, Suarez, Aguero frontline in dgw31. Will save the other free transfer I have, giving me 2 FT next week.
Can anyone see the best possible way to work that frontline in for dgw31 ?
Cech, Davis
Vlaar, Koscielny, Dawson, Gabbidon, Coleman
Hazard, Mata, Puncheon, Yaya Toure, Nolan
Suarez, Rodriguez, Rooney
Thanks for any help 🙂Open ControlsThat's a lot of cash needs moving to attack.
Roon > Studge
Mata > cheap as chips
JRod > Kun
But I don't like itOpen Controls
i would do kosc to a playing defender this week... as you want rid of kosc anyway.
my suggestion would be chambers...Open ControlsDone
Next week: Rooney to Sturridge
GW31: Rodriguez to Aguero and Mata to someone 6.2 or below, Sterling maybe ? Or another dgw player ?Open Controls
WHA Defence.
Anyone going for the cheap Mccartney 4.0 over Collins 4.3 for the dgw?
in last 5 gws, mccart had 3 bonus while collins had 6 afer that gol he scored. Not sure if Collins demands the extra .3 for his gol threat/bonus...Open Controls
Hello Deadzone. Bit bored at work so thought I would find out a bit more about everybody who is online at this time. Would be chuffed if I got a couple of responses to the below. I will post my responses as well 🙂
1. What country do you live in, and where do you rank currently in your homeland?
2. What prem team do you support (if you do) and why?
3. How many friends do you know who live locally that also play?
Thanks!Open Controls
1) Philippines. no.9. two weeks ago I was on 4th. 😡
2) ManUtd. First time I watched football on TV and became a fan instantly.
3) A Few on my ML which btw I wrapped up winning it on GW1. (I know you guys on my ML are reading this! bwahahahaha!)Open ControlsAhh amazing, well done on the rank for your country!
Mine (if you care):
1. Australia, 38th, moved here in 2012 from the UK
2. Arsenal. Born in Islington, Dad a big fan basically had no choice.
3. Nobody in Australia 🙁 Got loads of addicted friends in UK though.Open ControlsI think if someone in my country gets inside the top 10k in OR, maybe top 5k, he would be the no.1...
I think it still a good rank for you as there are a lot of people there who follows BPL and plays FPL in Australia.. Just hoping Arsenal could get a good striker in the summer as well.Open Controls
England, just inside 100K
None in the prem
About 30.Open ControlsNone in the prem, so a lower league side?

1. Canada and ranked just outside 10k (I started many weeks late)
2. N/A I enjoy watching City, and Arsenal; but my support rests in another league ;P
3. I'm in a ML of coworkers with about a dozen peopleOpen ControlsCanada - didn't realise the prem was watched over there, great work on getting your workers on board! How do time zones work there? They are a nightmare here.

1. New Zealand, ranked 142
2. Manchester United, Was one of the first teams I watched and I admire their efforts to blood young players
3. About 5 (none of them are any good 🙁 )Open Controls
1. Australia, lived in the UK through all my 20's and am currently ranked 12,742
2. Long time suffering Forrest, supporter. I guess cos they were the closest club to where a grew up as a kid when my parents moved over there for a few years. They were ok then.... honest!
3. 5 or 6 but our main league is a group of people from all over the work who either worked together or grew up together. Currently am 2nd in that league and am chasing down #1Open ControlsHaha I do seem to recall them being OK a few years back. How far off that number 1 spot?
Open ControlsMiles and miles, currently 5th and 19 points behind Leicester. I saw them play when I was last over in 2012, they lost 3-0 and had not managed to score a goal in 7 matchs
Open Controls
1. Australia (although Im English)
2. Southampton..... grew up there, regualr in the Milton Rd end.
3. About 4..... they're all English 🙂Open ControlsLoads of us over here isn't there! I am in Brisbane and the place is swarming with poms...still, it is sunny and 29 degrees out ther
Open Controls
1. South Africa and 35th. 2002 overall which is my best ever to date!
2. No prem Club but a lifetime QPR fan (Born and raised in Wembley so my local team)
3. Loads of FPL players at work here and i'm leading the line!Open ControlsGreat work, nothing like being out on front is there!!
Open Controls
1) USA, 523
2) no one. kinda pulling for Arsenal and Pool this year as I wanna see someone else win the EPL and I'd like to see Pool at least finish top 4 and qualify for CL and keep suarez
3) none...Open Controls
1. California, 3590 in USA
2. Liverpool mainly cause I've been to Anfield to see them play United
3. I've got about 15-20 English and Irish buddies here in San Diego that playOpen Controlsoh hey! I'm going to school in California, though I live up in WA.
Open Controls
None must get lonely, but well done on your rank!
Open Controlsehh i've got all of you here on FFS. and I was in a ML two seasons ago with some friends from home but most of them didn't take it too seriously so I mostly paid attention to overall rank anyways
thanks! more focused on overall rank (which is just inside 17k) than country rank... hoping for a top 10k finish this yearOpen Controls
Morning/Afternoon/ Evening lads......
Didnt see the chelsea game or any of the higlights shows (moved house no foxtel....ahhhh) Is schuurle a genuine prospect? or total knee jerk?
Reason I ask is that I dimmised AJ's ahtrick and then missed his run of consecutive scoring, same with Nolan. Plus brining in a chelsea player this week would bolster my team to 7 players which is important as my H2H leagues is tight......
Thoughts?Open ControlsKnee Jerk this year, cant see him getting the game time to make it worth it. He did play very well. Next year I think he might be a better option.
Open Controlsi am thinking the same with eriksen... schurrly schurrle will get a run in the side... he scored a brace earlier in the season and got 9 minutes in the next game...
Open Controls
A) Kompany and Livermore or
B) Sterling and Kolarov/Demel/Colins.
Currently thinking A just because of City still having 2 extra fixtures.
Will leave me with those 2 + Suarez Aguero Sturridge Yaya Adrian for double game week (Ince + Ward too if the CPL game is rescheduled for the same week.Open ControlsI'm playing Metro and just checked my teams scores, I have two both on 17,002. points I don't remember having Metro teams tied before.
You wanted to know all that drivel of course. Roll on the weekend.Open ControlsThere is talk of City having x 3 DGM's whats the thinking on what game weeks the other DGM's will be?
Open ControlsMorning Saint or Reevsey, I seem to remember someone saying 34 and 37 were most likely though a triple GW in one was not impossible. Due to Cup and European commitments.
Open Controls
Is Tettey too risky for Norwich midfield or earned his place?
Open ControlsNone yet. He has a hearing and maybe appeal.
Open Controls
will be 3 minumum obvs. Not even close to Suarez's bite or Barton's kic out so can't be more than 6 if you ask me.
my question is will the ban take effect immediately?Open Controls
Well I just need him for Gw 29. I can't see why the F.A. can't effect it immediately tbh. Oh and I have Adam so I'm expecting the worst
Open Controls
Lugano: anyone know what happened to Lugano, if slightly injured? never played after his gol and good perf couple weeks ago. Cheap at 4.3 and wbo has gw 29
Open Controlshey dzers.
Just tossing up my potential trades and I'm in abit of a conundrum to say the least. But here's what I have planned.
Gabbidon --> Pieters/Cameron (probably pieters just save the 0.2)
This is where I get stuck:
Livermore --> Adam/Walters for a -4.
Then GW 30 I want work Yaya in somehow given he will be a bargain compared to what he was.
Sound good or stupid?Open Controlsstoke defenders look good given their fixtures this gw and next
not sure on stoke mids though.... maybe go ince? but I guess walters could be a good punt. though he could also miss a peno and get you a negative score 😉Open Controls
When do we expect to find out is M Olsson will play v stoke?
Open Controls
He hurt his shoulder after 40 mins, if he could complete 50 mins with it hurt I'm sure he will be fine after a weeks rest.
Open Controls
Good morning DZers
Open ControlsCity surely gonna rest players in the Fulham game before Utd Arsenal
There goes a Nasri punt
Silva Yaya Kun will be safeOpen Controlsi'm looking at kun, yaya/silva, and potentially kolarov...
gotta be yaya if you're only going one city mid?Open ControlsYup but kept Silva due to funds
Debating Hazard > Yaya with view to getting him back
Value doesn't matter nowOpen Controlsfair enough. I shipped silva cuz of the two blanks. so I can get either silva or yaya
hmmm. thing is that you wouldn't get Haz back since city have 2 more dgws yet to come so you'll want to hold onto your citeh players. but I don't think you wanna go without haz....Open Controls
im having dfficulty fitting yaya in there to be honest, would mean taking out gerrard which I wouldnt like to do
Open Controls
Best top 3 guys? for DGW.cheers!
a) SaS + RvP
b) SaS + Kun
c) Suarez + Kun + RvP
d) Studge + kun + RvPOpen ControlsWould you rather have on GW31
a) Yaya & 4.8 mid (Livermore/Huddlestone)
b) Nolan & AJ and a chance to upgrade one of my defenders for KolarovOpen Controls
10 years, 3 months agoIm off to bed. Have fun
